therapists aren't usually useful for acute sprains/strains, because they usually just slap on a bag of ice, which you can do on your own. they are good for rehab after the swelling gone down and they do light resistant and flexibility exercises to retrain the muscle faster. but again you can do somethings on your own if you know what you are doing.

how swollen is it? i'd keep icing it until theres no swelling at all.

whether you should continue training depends on how hurt it is but you can always try to do something like pushups, abs, swim, etc, if it's too injured for regular training.

you can tape it up(preferably from someone with sports taping training) but dont rely too much on it since you want to strength your muscles.
